So, this is how I imagine this game was created. A bunch of guys got together and said:'Let's make a game that's like the 'Aliens' movie!''Sure, but we'll have to change the details a bit and make it our own, you know, add new ideas into the mix.'There's a few seconds of contemplation before someone says, 'Screw that - let's make a game like the Aliens movie!'I had the original Alien Breed on my old Amiga way back in the very early 1990s - it was a top-down shooter, and what you had to do was walk around a spaceship, find keycards to get you through the many doors and blast aliens, that actually looked like Geiger's alien. It was fast, fun and sometimes frustrating.Team 17 took the Unreal Engine and made the game 3D,but still with that top-down feel to it (see video above for gameplay details). I played it on my two-year old PC with very few problems, although I did have disable the dynamic shadows and effects to improve the gameplay. There's five levels to the game, each asking you to put in about an hour for each level, so if you blast through the game you could have it done in about four and half hours. That's not bad, considering the low price of the game for you to download. Personally, I bought the physical disc with all three Alien Breed games on it - Impact, Assault and Descent - because I'm awkward that way. I've just completed Impact at the moment and I'm working my way through Assault. That's up to 15 hours of gameplay for all three games. I found the game much easier to play using the X-Box controller as I found the mouse/AWSD controls a little fiddly.So, what's the game like? Well, there's no messing about, for a start. The game gets stuck in with a simple comic strip-style intro, gives the hero Conrad a very brief introduction, and then slams the spaceship he's on, the Leopold, into a huge ghost ship. Stuck together and overrun with alien creatures, Conrad has to fix systems, make his way through an annoyingly exploding starship, and blast aliens. The gameplay is a fast and fun arcade-style shoot-em-up. The action is cool and the aliens get blasted to smithereens in a very satisfying way with assault rifles, shotguns, flamethrowers, laser guns and ion blasters. There's a pistol in there too, but I never used that much - I just upgraded the damage of the assault rifle and made sure the ammo was topped up.There are plenty of save points where you can buy and sell stuff and upgrade your equipment. The main idea of the game is to fix systems, find keycards (yay!) and use consoles to be able to progress. The maps are relatively large but the route is quite linear, with some backtracking and going over old ground, but it's all very well rendered and very atmospheric.The systems you fix have animations showing the machines firing up (or exploding) and, even though some of the tasks can be a little monotonous and the animations feel like they're taking too much time, it's still a good game. It can get annoying when you're used to looking at the map at a certain angle (you can adjust the top-down view by circling the camera) and the animation of your efforts turns it all around, but you can get past that. I also think that the Leopold is probably the worst designed vessel in science fiction existence; the systems are all over the place, the corridors and rooms are placed in crazy places and activating one system seems to blow up another. This is a small gripe - the layout aids the gameplay and the odd 'I'm lost!' moment aside it's functional and very atmospheric.All in all a great game. It only gets better in Alien Breed: Assault, but I'm still playing that so that's a review for another time. If you're looking for a deep, immersive story and detailed intricate gameplay then you're out of luck, but if you just want to run around blasting aliens for a couple of hours then it's more than worth it. The online co-op option only serves to increase the fun.

This PC game requires activating online via the Steam website. The entire game is then downloaded from this website. You will also need an internet connection to unlock the in-game achievements (basically a series of badges which are displayed on screen).The game itself is a top down shooter, and so lacks the intensity of a first person shooter. In fact, the game felt like a throwback to pre- PS1 games despite it having PS3 graphics.It is loosely based upon the Alien film franchise, with face huggers, alien eggs and the queen alien being particularly familiar, but there are a whole host of other bio-enginnered aliens who are all hell bent on killing the player. Each different type of alien has a special attack.The action itself takes place aboard a spaceship. You can use up to six different weapons, including my favourite - a flame thrower. Swarms of these creatures can swamp the player at any time, popping up out of the floor, or out of the walls and attacking en masse or sometimes in ones and twos. Areas on board the spaceship which had previously been cleared can become re-infested. So backtracking your way through the spaceship can lead to further attacks from hordes of aliens.There are many times during the game when you can be be attacked from all sides. Yet despite this, the game is still easy to beat. Annoyingly, the player's character can get stuck on various objects, but this is only a minor issue.Overall, this is a fun and easy game to play. But it only has 5 levels per game (for a total of 15 levels), where each level can take 40 - 60 minutes to play. It's a shame there weren't more levels to play. Thankfully, there a few extras (the Survivor levels which are fiendishly difficult as wave after wave of aliens will eventually overcome the player - the object of the game at this point is to last as long as possible). Personally, I think that "Alien versues Predator" is a much better game.
